Concert
Cherry Sunkist (Austria), Gustav (Austria)
Cherry Sunkist (Austria)
Video artist and musician Karin Fisslthaler has been producing music and performing as Cherry Sunkist since 2004. Equipped with her laptop, drum computer, synthesizer, electric guitar, voice and her own visual effects, Cherry is going to present her witty semi-pop debut OK Universe. The album was released in 2007 by the Viennese label 22. Jahrhundertfuchs which is focused on weird electronic music and experimental pop sounds. Cherry Sunkist's universe is a multi-faceted one, consisting of beats and electrified sounds that are underlined by her distinctively modulated voice. Songs on OK Universe range from ambient sound-collages to melodic pop-oriented songs which clearly express her personal, that is, political opinions. One of the highlights of OK Universe, the song Nameless Dogs, was also released on the triple CD compilation Girl Monster (Chicks On Speed Records, 2006).

Gustav (Austria)
Gustav is back in town! Viennese musician and singer Eva Jantschitsch alias Gustav released her second and long-awaited solo album Verlass die Stadt last year and caused quite a stir. Her, or rather his music is a perfect fusion of catchy pop songs, ironic Schalgers and laptop experimentation that catches you quite unprepared... for poetic and political strategies that reach into the yet unheard.
"The Austrian fine arts student seems to translate anarchist praxis into audacious - yet intimate - synth rock. Though actually, there is a lot more to it. Unlike most post-Le Tigre satellites, whether rhyming along to Hakim Bey, droning against patriarchy, or recalling Carlo Guliani (who was killed at the GB conference in Genoa), Jantschitsch's approach is both non-reactionary and subtly humorous. Indeed, her sunny, heavily accented voice, wrapped in a digital orchestral sound, often cracks as if she can't help laughing, welled up with the belief that we can ultimately make a so-called 'better world'. 'Let's keep it blurred and kitschy,' she jokes. Radically individual, neither Eva Jantschitsch nor Gustav invariably triggers negotiations with connotations of the notion, the idea, and the image of 'woman' when she becomes an image on stage or in the media. It is an extremely schizophrenic position when Gustav is repeatedly thrown back to 'being-object' despite her intense 'becoming-subject'. 'As a woman on the stage I am merely a concept...'"

After the concert, nasty DJane Hellga. is going to spank, punish and exhaust you in a dance orgy of soul, pop, bb, DnB, ethnoelectro, electroclash, and stiff-cold electronica.
